Yes, the students of Takema Academy!
Immediately, Jian Ruocheng's heart flustered, and he said, "You guys, what are you going to do?!"
The jailers looked at him with a sneer and didn't speak, but let him listen to the screams of the students around him. After a while, he said slowly: "Since Mr. Jian refuses to speak, we Of course, we can only let the students speak."
"..."
"These people are still young, they shouldn't be as stubborn as you, Second Young Master."
"..."
"Although, their mouths are already hardened. They have lasted from last night until now. We just want to see how long they can last."
Upon hearing that those students had been thrown into prisons, and were even being tortured, Jian Ruocheng panicked all of a sudden.
He said, "You can't do that!"
"Why not?"
Several jailers sneered and said, "You were originally traitors and thieves who spread rumors against the emperor in Jinling. Before that, you even forcibly detained His Royal Highness King Wei in your academy. These things are enough for you to behead!"
"Right now, we're just investigating."
"Of course, if Second Young Master Jian is willing to cooperate with us, it will be convenient for us, and your students will also be able to suffer less."
"..."
Jian Ruocheng didn't speak.
But his face became paler and paler, and his eyes began to flicker.
The head of the jailer sneered, and said, "Well, since Second Master Jian doesn't say anything, we won't make things difficult for you."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and ordered to his subordinates: "Do it."
Jian Ruocheng raised her head: "What are you going to do?"
The other jailers sneered, "What are you doing? Of course they are doing business."
"Since Mr. Jian Er is stubborn and refuses to speak, we can only pry their mouths open."
"Look at their fingers, are they as hard as your mouth?"
"What?!"
Upon hearing these words, Jian Ruocheng looked at them in horror.
I saw the head of the jailer, who was smiling, suddenly lowered his face and said coldly: "Strangle off their fingers!"
"yes!"
Several jailers took orders and immediately turned around to leave.
"No!"
Jian Ruocheng, who didn't even give in to the torture, after hearing this sentence, sweated coldly in horror and hurriedly said: "You can't do this!"
"Why not?"
The man sneered and said: "Murdering the emperor, this heinous crime, even if you wipe out your nine clans, it should be done. Do it!"
"No!"
Jian Ruocheng struggled subconsciously, even the iron chains that bound him were rattling, he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't hurt my students!"
The jailers looked back at him.
Sweat, mixed with blood, slid down Jian Ruocheng's scarred face, dripping drop by drop onto the ground.
The smell of blood stimulated people's heart to become manic.
And he suffered even more.
Those students, they are still young, and their futures still have countless possibilities. If they were here, their hands were broken by these cruel jailers, like a bird's wings were broken.
Their lives are ruined!
How can they be implicated by themselves and suffer such torture
Jian Ruocheng's eyes were red, hot tears welled up, but not a single drop came out.
And those jailers still looked at him triumphantly.
In this dungeon full of blood and despair, Jian Ruocheng's heart seemed to sink into the abyss forever.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You guys, don't hurt my students."
"..."
"I-"
He said with difficulty: "I plead guilty!"
As soon as several jailers heard this sentence, a gloomy light flashed in their eyes immediately, and the leader of the jailer immediately winked at the person next to him, who immediately brought a confession: "Second son, Now please draw your bet!"
In addition, someone hurried over and untied Jian Ruocheng's iron chain.
Jian Ruocheng was extremely weak, and his other hand was still tied, so he could only reluctantly drag that weak hand, pressed the ink pad, and tremblingly wanted to draw on the confession.
The jailers looked at this moment, their eyes became hot.
A few of them secretly put their hands into their sleeves, and there was a hemp rope inside—it was the kind of rope used by prisoners to "suicide in fear of crime" in normal times!
As long as Jian Ruocheng "confesses", they can act immediately!
But just when Jian Ruocheng's finger was about to press the confession, suddenly, a familiar voice came from the front: "No!"
"...!"
this voice!
Jian Ruocheng's heart trembled suddenly, and she immediately raised her head.
The blood was densely covering his face, covering his vision with a layer of blood, and in the blood, he saw a ray of light shining in from outside the dark dungeon, and with the appearance of that ray of light, A familiar figure also appeared in his line of sight.
The jailers were waiting for Jian Ruocheng to plead guilty, and it was at the last moment, but they were suddenly interrupted by this voice, and they were all furious.
"who?!"
Looking back, they were also stunned.
"Concubine?"
Nan Yan staggered and broke into the dungeon.
Just walking in from the outside, the dungeon was like an ice cave, which made her shiver suddenly, especially the familiar smell of blood in the air, which made her go back to the beginning when she was thrown into the dungeon , in the nightmare of being tortured by those jailers.
But at this moment, it was Jian Ruocheng who was tortured beyond human form.
There was no complete piece of skin in his whole body. The blood dripped down his feet along his fingers, chin, and even every strand of his hair, forming a pool of blood.
However, when he raised his head to look at himself, his eyes were warm on that pale face.
Even, it is gentle.
He stared blankly at himself in disbelief, and after a while, he tremblingly said: "Nanyan, you—"
However, before he finished speaking, several jailers looked at each other, and immediately surrounded him, stopped Nan Yan, and said, "Your Majesty, why did you come here?"
"This man has pleaded guilty."
"That's right, he confessed that he was the real murderer behind the murder of the emperor. What does the imperial concubine have to do with him?"
Seeing Jian Ruocheng's bruised appearance, Nan Yan's heart ached like an arrow, and when he saw these people, he immediately said angrily: "Get out of the way!"
"this-"
Those people still hesitated.
Nan Yan said angrily: "Get out of the way!"
They looked at each other, not daring to offend the imperial concubine for a while, so they could only turn sideways carefully, making way for them.
Nan Yan hurried forward.
Ran Xiaoyu followed behind her, and rushed forward with her, and when she walked in front of Jian Ruocheng, Nan Yan's eyes turned red immediately when she saw that his whole body was covered in wounds and dripping with blood: "Second Young Master!"
